Common Parameters

Parameter	Default	Range	Description
Cycles	100%	0% to 10000%	Controls animation cycle for 1 second of real time, and is not affected by frame rate.
Time	0.0	0.0 to 1.0	Controls the time through the animation of the drop. In order to create one full cycle of animation keyframes must be set up that changes this parameter from 0.0 to 1.0.
Seed	Varies	0 to 10000	The seed parameter is used to create the water pattern. Two shaders with the same seed will be identical. Changing this value will help insure that multiple shaders are unique.
Animate	Off	On/Off	With the animate option set to On, the shader will animate itself without the need for setting keyframes. When the animate option is On the Time parameter is ignored.
Color		NA	The color gradient allows you to alter the shader's color. This is the standard c4d color gradient.
Delta	100%	-500% to 500%	The Delta parameter is used for calculating bump maps. Bump maps calculate the slope (or normal) for each sample from surrounding samples. The Delta value determines the radius of the surrounding samples. Higher Delta values usually mean a harder bump, and can sometimes produce a "doubling" effect. Smaller Delta values result in a much more subtle bump. The Delta value should be used in conjunction with the Bump channel's Strength parameter.
Time	Varies	0.0 to 1.0	Time controls the animation of the drop. In order to create one full cycle of animation keyframes must be set up that changes this parameter from 0.0 to 1.0. If the Animate option is On the Time parameter is ignored.
Min Wave	0.0	0.0 to 1000.0	Determines the starting wavelength. The wavelength controls the distance between the peaks of the ripples. As the texture is animated the ripple will start from the minimum wave, when time is 0.0, and finish at the maximum wave when time reaches 1.0.
Max Wave	1.0	0.0 to 1000.0	Determines the wavelength. The wavelength controls the distance between the peaks of the ripples. As the texture is animated the ripple will start from the minimum wave, when time is 0.0, and finish at the maximum wave when time reaches 1.0.
Min Radius	0.1	0.0 to 1000.0	Determines the start radius. The radius controls the distance from the center to the outer ripple. When animated, the ripple will start from this radius at time 0.0.
Max Radius	1.0	0.0 to 1000.0	Determines the end radius. The radius controls the distance from the center to the outer ripple. This is the radius when a ripple ends, at time 1.0.
Min Ripple	5	0.0 to 100.0	Determines the starting number of ripples. When animated, this is the number of ripples when time is 0.0.
Max Ripple	8	0.0 to 100.0	Determines the ending number of ripples. When animated, this is the number of ripples at time 1.0.
